September 22 2011 Notes: Logan TeBeau
Today we researched information on our own, about Asian Immigration (1850's-1910) on the laptops through the links on the Moodle page and through several reading handouts. We then answered the question, "How have the patterns of immigration from Asia to the U.S. been impacted by discrimination, economics, and conflict?", on Mr. Kyle's moodle page, in a strong paragraph. If we did not finish our response we were able to post it as homework.
